Since that night, Dave had not felt at all calm, as if he had suspected that something bad was going to happen. However, he had no idea what bad things might happen. Hence, he tried to put all his troubles aside and had a good breakfast. Whenever he ate alone now, he would be reminded of Aini and also the memories they shared together in that room. At first, his chest always felt tight at the memory, but now he was used to the pain in his heart. While he was busy eating and reading the proposal he gave to Hendramo, suddenly he saw Sean calling him. Obviously, this surprised him because it was so unusual. The frown on his forehead never went away until he finally picked up the call. Sean's voice sounded really rushed, like he was trying to explain in a nutshell. Luckily, Dave could understand everything in one listen. The food that was on the table hadn't finished yet, while the housekeeper who had just finished drying Dave's clothes was surprised to see the man running out and screaming that he would be home late tonight. Worry filled the housekeeper when she saw the untouched food. How could he have the energy when every morning only eats so little? “Arjuna why are you in trouble? Isn't he going to campus this morning?” “He said that someone had come to his office and kept looking for it. He told me to call you over there.” “Then, why are you alone on campus?” Sean's annoyed sigh sounded so loud, he also grumbled to himself. “There's something I want to talk to him about, but instead I run into this problem.” Knowing that he couldn't make Sean talk anymore, Dave finally took a deep breath. “I'm on my way, I'll be there soon. He's in the office, right?” "Yes. June is at the office, I hope you can come quickly because it feels like that person… ready to kill June at any time.” Sean didn't say who was stopping June on campus early in the morning like this. However, just from Sean's description, Dave felt very sure that this person was none other than Leo. What relationship do the two have to such an extent? Ah, to be more precise, how could Arjuna know Leo? Was that why she kept pushing him to find a way to get Leo to shut up? If that was the case, shouldn't he have explained it from the start? Resentment mixed with confusion inside Dave. However, he only had one goal now. To get to campus as soon as possible. “Don't act like you're great when you're just an ordinary lecturer,” said Leo, pushing Arjuna's shoulder. Even so, the man didn't budge and just kept quiet, as he was used to getting treated like this. “I want to make sure that the person who is looking for an internship for my future wife is you or not. If you are… there must be something you are hiding until you find that place.” “The personal data of our students is something that cannot be shared widely, even if you are the husband-to-be.” Arjuna spoke flatly and looked at Leo flatly. He had absolutely no intention of clashing with Leo, but the man seemed to have a million ways to make him open his mouth. "Wow? So, if there is injustice in this distribution, who is to be blamed, right?” This time Arjuna's expression changed slightly, but he again turned it flat. “If my future wife does something wrong at her office, does the campus want to take responsibility?” “All the apprenticeship places we have gone to have passed the promising stages, so violence against apprentices will never happen.” "So confident. Are you sure everything has been checked? What if my future wife is injured, what will you do?” Arjuna was silent for a moment, hearing that. He felt very sure that this week Aini was on assignment to enter campus. That's why Leo came here because he knew Aini would be on campus. How did he know, Arjuna himself could not answer it, but still, he disliked the presence of the man? The wrinkles on Arjuna's forehead finally appeared. Even though he was trying not to get caught. “See, right? Lo himself is not confident, but arbitrarily says that nothing is a problem. Violence in the company where it is possible to be told to the campus? Because you as a supervisor are incompetent, I will evaluate the company myself. So, if I see something bad, don't expect your career to be saved.” “You must ….” Arjuna himself was actually trying to remain polite, afraid that he would bring bad luck to Aini. Unfortunately, Leo immediately pushed Arjuna onto his desk, knocking out a few items. “Did I ask you to argue? As long as I'm still talking nicely, don't make my emotions rise. If you yourself still want to survive, shut your rotten mouth.” To be honest, Arjuna wasn't afraid of the threat just now, but he was panicking. He had not been able to respond to anything, suddenly Leo's body was lifted from his. The confused Arjuna finally stood up straight to hear being punched several times. It took him a moment to process what was happening before he came to his senses and could see that Dave was currently hitting Leo a few times. The noise it made was a little ghastly, to the point that even Leo himself was shaking violently against Dave. It took a while before Arjuna finally came to his senses, and he immediately grabbed his best friend. “Dave! Enough!” cried Arjuna, who held his friend's hand. “Remember Aini, this could be a problem for Aini.” Realizing what was going on, Dave suddenly stopped and noticed Leo, who had bruises on his face. He, who was surprised at first now chuckled horribly. “That's right, I thought it would be like this. You want to make Aini in trouble, huh?” It was clear that Leo was trying to provoke them to do even more. Because of that, Arjuna held Dave even tighter, so he wouldn't lose his mind. “As long as you know. Aini will marry me at the end of the year! And at that time, you all won't be able to do anything.” "'End of year?” Dave, who heard that, had a look of horror. He really didn't know what to say in this kind of situation, but he could feel his heart beating wildly. The end of the year is only a few months away, can he even do it? Not to mention Aini, who will soon be done with her apprenticeship. All he needs is time. Could he even increase his chances of winning? “Get out of here, or I will call campus security!” threatened Arjuna. He could feel Dave, whose breath was gasping with anger. However, before Leo could leave, Dave had already lunged at and choked Leo, still giving him a chance to breathe a little. “If you do anything to Aini, I will make sure you die in my hands! If you… you hurt Aini….” Leo himself pushed Dave away and chuckled softly. “I'm not the one who hurt him, but you yourself.”
